Elani K Not so much bad as incomprehensible. Wait - I changed my mind. It's very bad. I watched with the rifftrax, and even so, it was rough going. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Director and writer Rob Roy has had a strong connection to wolves his entire life. It started after he first saw Balto, which inspired him to create his own wolf film. The film you're about to reach about. The film during which he attempted to contact Balto star Kevin Bacon for a cameo before being somewhat ironically chased off the actor's property by dogs. He told the Nashua Telegraph, "Let me say first of all that I am an animal lover. No werewolves were hurt during the making of Lycan Colony. I've always loved werewolf movies, but I'm tired of seeing the same storyline over and over again. The werewolf is always a sick tormented beast. He's always the bad guy. In Lycan Colony, we filled a whole town with them. Some are good, some are bad. None of them are these simple monsters that show up for five minutes at the end of the movie. They're the life and blood of a modern town, and much closer to us than we're used to seeing in these movies." Roy is self-taught and learned every aspect of filmmaking – from make-up effects to building his own camera dollies, animatronic heads and blood sprayers as well as building his own blue-screen shooting area in his garage – while making this movie. Dr. Daniel Solomon (Bill Sykes), a disgraced alcoholic surgeon, and his family move to a small town in the wake of one of his surgeries under the influence costing a patient their life. He has an AA sponsor so bad that he takes him to a bar afterward, a bar where he meets a brother and sister who are ex-military and looking for their adventurer father. Seconds after they explain the inscription on their father's watch, the bartender ends up dropping it on their table, which is like Chekov's gun going off before you even see it. This leads to a werewolf attack within the bar, the military brother getting killed and Daniel falling through what can only be a warp zone to escape. Meanwhile, Daniel's son Stewart (Ryan O Roy) has fallen for Sarah (Libby Collins), who comes ot his room late at night and brings him to a graveyard where she bites his chest and makes him one of the cursed under the full moon. Who can save the day? Maybe its Athena, the witch played by Kristi Lynn, who loaned all of her exotic animals to this movie which still doesn't explain why a spider monkey randomly shows up at the end. She licks everything with sight and then explains the history of werewolves in animation that I am not even remotely sure can be referred to as animation. Speaking of animation, the military guy has a neck tattoo that was added in post and it flickers. It's the most disconcerting take you out of the movie thing I've ever seen and yes, it is awesome. Made in Hudson, Bedford, Goffstown, Merrimack and Manchester, New Hampshire — which is why this had the tagline "Welcome to New Hampshire…Live free or die!" — you'll perhaps struggle with some of the accents. These towns are the homes of stars like Seth Meyers, Sarah Slverman, Jane Balder from V, Grace Metalious who wrote Peyton Place and Adam Sandler. Perhaps most relevant to this film are the facts that GG Allin was born there as well as The Howling star Christopher Stone. Keeping it local, the movie premiere at Chunky's Cinema Pub in Pelham on Sunday, Oct. 23, 2005 with a concert/film screening/Halloween costume contest extravaganza. At Chunky's you can order a Caesar Romero Salad, Wizard of Ozzarella Sticks, Reservoir Dogs (yes hot dogs), the Parmageddon Chicken Sandwich, a Kevin Bacon Burger, a Carrie Cosmo, the Catalina Wine Mixer Sangria, Jurassic Pork Tacos, Rum Forrest Rum or a Jabba the Hot Fudge Sundae. If you ask Rob Roy, he says that this movie is about "The sensual underbelly of animalistic human beings and what happens when we surrender to that." He's expanded the universe of the film in Rage of the Theriomorphs, a book in which Dr. Dan, Dave, Russ, Stew, and Sarah are back and getting accustomed to their new lives and new rules. A new mysterious death has caused an uproar and a new threat to the entire town has arrived. This needs to be a movie, right? Lycan Colony is the kind of movie that shuts off my brain and lets someone else drive. I never really recovered. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
